If you were planning a mass multiplayer night with your buddies this is the kind of game that will get you swearing like it's going out of fashion, as your buddy consistently slashes your face off (in the game) when you didn't see him/her coming.
I'm sure younger people who have the reflexes of a cat playing slap base in a wind tunnel could probably enjoy the single player mode, but for me, the manic nature and the stupid way you can lose the ball through no fault of your own waters down the single player experience, but thankfully the multiplayer more than makes up for it .
If you can get your head around the controls,and don't mind the overwhelming amount of customizations options, there is a pretty darn good car combat game here. If you're looking for a Warhawk fix, or Rocket league with extra boom, then you can't go wrong with Crossout.
Ghost Blade has all the makings of a great shooter, it just lacks that special something in few major areas that makes it fail to live up to its potential.
Iron Crypticle can be fun, I enjoyed it in short burst sessions and there's definitely that "just one more go" factor and for high score junkies this will appeal to you. It's not a terrible game, there are just better examples out there.
There is nothing quite like it.
Tiny Trax is a brilliant brilliant concept and FuturLab need to be commended on crafting such a wonderful Virtual World with tracks that are literally out of this world. The VR itself is comfortable, and you never seem to get tired eyes and definitely no motion sickness. Technically on that front it's top notch. It's just a shame that the gameplay itself falls short of its potential.
The augments are fun to collect, and the bosses are a decent challenge but there isn't much to make you want to go back for more, especially with all that unnecessary Smart Matter Paraphernalia. Take that away and you'll have a much more fun and intense shooter.
Despite the few flaws, once you've completed it, you're left with pleasant memories of a wonderful game. It certainly deserves a place in your collection of VR titles.
The stage is set and if the content releases continue at this high bar level of quality, there's every chance we'll be talking about Destiny 2 as a potential "Game of The Generation", never mind "Game of the Year".
Baja Edge of Control is a game that no one remembers, has a HD remaster title yet doesn't look much better than the original, is old fashioned, brutish, has no finesse with no lavish budget – But you know what? It's fun and what it does do, it does it well. It's the sort of game that I will happily turn on, complete a cup in the career which will take 20 minutes and turn it off again, just like I do with Mario Kart. And then I'll do the same the next day. And the next. That's the beauty of this game. You can invest as much time in it as you like. Spend hours fine tuning, or just a few minutes here and there having a quick race. No matter which way you play you will get the same result of an enjoyable racer.
The Solus Project is definitely a game to stick with, The longer you're in it, the more you will get out of it, it's similar in vein to VR's other explore-em-up Robinson the Journey. However, even though there are no giant dinosaurs to gawp at the story and the imagination this world conjures up make this a better game, in my opinion. I just wish I wasn't bogged down having to manage the very things that keep you alive.
Herocade is a terrible mess of a game collection that you should avoid. Don't be tempted by the 9 games and the cheap price tag. It's cheap for a reason.
Binaries is definitely a nice addition to the ever-bulging collection of indie games appearing on the Switch. If you are up for a challenge then this is defiantly the game for you, expect lots and lots of death and don't play with anything breakable in the immediate vicinity.
Despite all the innovation and good looks, the core gameplay is too restrictive and dull and you feel that Ultra Ultra had run out of ideas and made certain sections just too long just to pad the game out. There is potential here, it's just been poorly executed, but I do look forward to what Ultra Ultra do next.
I'm sure I wasn't the only one who was surprised when Bethesda announced a sequel to the so-so Evil Within. But announce they did and here we have The Evil Within 2. Can it fix the flaws of the first? The FingerGuns review;
Max: The Curse of Brotherhood is a strange game, in that its separate parts in isolation are thoroughly enjoyable. I loved the platforming sections and really enjoyed the puzzles sections. It just a shame in some ways that they had to meet in the same game.
Rocket League is another must-have title to add to the growing list of great games you need in your Switch collection.
It's nice to see jet ski racing making a return, but chances are you've probably played this already on literally any other format including mobile. The Switch version offers very little that is new to make you want to pick it up again if you have already sampled its watery delights (oo er), But considering the absurd value for money this game is (just £9.99), or if you haven't played it before then this is a fun solid racer, that's definitely worth picking up.
This is really a game for those high score junkies. It's old-school in both looks and design and for a quick time waster works perfectly. If you're looking for something deeper, then this is not the game for you.
